Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the process for removing businesses from the list of PCR test providers for travel on the gov.uk website in the event that those providers do not meet the criteria they have set for delivery and process times of PCR tests.

We continuously monitor and assess the adequacy of the process for removing private providers, including delivery and testing services, to ensure a high-quality service to customers.

Since the start of the travel testing programme, we have refined the process for identifying where providers have not met our standards for the delivery and processing of polymerase chain reaction testing.
